RE: Violence in the home, is totally unacceptable
I totally agree that children need to be raised in a peaceful home environment and have good role models. I did NOT come from such a home. My father was an abusive alcoholic and my earliest memories are of domestic violence that continued throughout my entire childhood. And I'm sure it's true that some children raised in that type of household do grow up to repeat the pattern. But there are also those of us who did the exact opposite. My brother and I both have never had the slightest tendency toward alcoholism or domestic violence. We remember the scars that we carry and determined to never do that to our families.
Its so sad that you had to experience such. My childhood also had a lot of violence in it, but it was a different situation.
Good thing, you and your brother wasn't influenced by it. I know not everyone that grew up in those kind of homes, end up violent.
I should have added that to my post
Please don't think I was criticizing your article. I just wanted to put in my two cents with my own experience, it is hard to break the chain of violence. I'm sorry that you had a violent childhood as well. No one should have to live in fear of violence in the one place they should feel peace and sanctuary - their own home.

Not at all. I didn't feel like, you were criticizing my article. I just realized that i didn't state in my post that, not every kid who grew up in a violent home, turn out violent. I really do appreciate your comment
